Souls of Aborted Babies; What Does Heaven Hold for Them

Much discussion has been held about whether the human unborn fetus is alive and a person with a soul. Many would say that the ability of the fetus to feel pain is proof of the fact that it is a living being. But what is the difference between being alive and having a soul?

This question is very difficult to answer. After all, if the fetus does indeed have a soul then abortion is not just a medical process that kills and removes the forming material from the woman’s body, but an unborn human that is being tortured and murdered for the benefit of those already born.

I. What does science prove about living forms? 

Plants respond to music, human contact and environmental conditions. The response is very much like any other living thing. If the stimulant is of a caring, pleasant nature, then the plant will respond in a pleasant manner. If however the stimulant is of a negative nature, then the plant will respond in a negative manner, even to the point of death.

Science has not proven whether plants feel pain or not. It is a common debate among vegetarians and carnivores, although people in everyday society doesn’t give it much thought. Science decrees that plants do not feel pain since there is no central nervous system. People that try to argue for plant pain, are inevitably ridiculed by those that cite science or the ‘I’ve never heard a plant scream’ reasoning.

Any living species has the ability and the determination to procreate. This statement does not need science to validate it. Common sense does this. Without this ability there would not be a need for hunters and farmers, since humans would have died out and this topic would be null and void.

Does plants also have the ability to choose when they reproduce, even when environmental conditions are accommodating? It would seem there is a possibility, although this in no way implies the individual plant choosing its fate.
